BLOOMINGTON - In the final home game of his career, senior guard Trey Galloway surpassed the 1,000-point benchmark in the second half of Indiana's regular season finale against Ohio State on Saturday afternoon.
Needing 11 points, Galloway hit a straightaway three with 4:27 left in the second half for his 13th point of the game. Not only was the three a milestone for Galloway, it cut the Ohio State lead to a pair and gave the Hoosiers a shot of adrenaline in its thrilling 66-60 victory over the Buckeyes.
"He competes. And you would be fooling yourself if you think anything else," Indiana head coach Mike Woodson said of Galloway. "That's all I've never known him as. I nicknamed him "Crazy Man" when I first started coaching him because he was all over the place. Didn't know what you were going to get from him but he competed. That's all he's ever done."
The Culver, Indiana native joins junior forward Malik Reneau as the only active Hoosiers with 1,000 points exclusively at Indiana and the 56th player all time to reach the milestone.
"It's awesome," fellow class of 2020 guard Anthony Leal said of Galloway's achievement. "We've had a lot of highs and lows throughout our career, but for him to just continue working and doing what he does well and being super reliable for our team has been really big."
Galloway finished with 16 points on 5-of-14 shooting, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds, including a 27-foot prayer late to push the Hoosier lead out to five with a minute left.
Galloway and Indiana will next play against Oregon on Thursday in the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis.
